For some reason lots of companies are paying for Slack, even though it's basically IRC-plus-emoji, and easily replaced by any of a dozen other chat platforms.

For some reason lots of companies are paying for Slack, even though it's basically IRC-plus-emoji, and easily replaced by any of a dozen other chat platforms.
